Run away to the gold-tipped peaks and sparkling waters of the Lake District and the charming village of Thimblebury. Here, newly engaged village nurse Ottilie Oakcroft is about to discover a family secret that will turn the life she loves upside down... As village nurse Ottilie Oakcroft and her fiancé Heath plan their engagement party, she can't hide her feelings of pure happiness. She's so settled in cosy Wordsworth Cottage and can't wait to celebrate her exciting news with the villagers she's come to know and love. But, on the day of the party, as she strings up bunting and fairy lights, there's a surprise in store. A young woman appears on Ottilie's doorstep - claiming she's Ottilie's half-sister Fion and she wants to be part of Ottilie's life. Soon Fion's feet are firmly under the table in Ottilie's cluttered kitchen and Ottillie and Heath are spending less and less time alone. Ottilie loves having her sister living in the spare room, but she can't help but notice that with no space to talk privately, she and Heath can't see eye-to-eye. Then a shocking secret about Fion comes to light, one that casts a long shadow over Ottilie's own happiness and her future with Heath. Ottilie knows that family should come first, but what if it's at the cost of her exciting new beginning? A beautiful and heartwarming read that will sweep you away and make you feel at home!
